CFL and CFL fantasy football is made up of two divisions: the East and West divisions.Â
The east division is better known for their defensive abilities and not their ability to play games that end with large numbers on the scoreboard. The teams making up the east division are Toronto Argonauts, Hamilton Tiger-Cats, Montreal Alouettes, and Ottawa Redblacks.
Opposite to the east division, the west is known for games that end with impressive scoring. The teams in this group are the BC Lions, Calgary Stampeders, Edmonton Elks, Saskatchewan Roughriders, and Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Each is known for playing offensively and wielding their skill as weapons to win.
While some sportsbooks may offer more options, as a standard, you can place three types of bets on CFL fantasy football. Doing this with a reputable sportsbook could lead you to a bonus ranging anywhere from 100% to 500% and make your gamble all the more worthwhile.
The following are the three most common types of bets:
Moneylines
Known as the most basic bet type, a moneyline bet requires you to pick only which team you think will walk away victorious. There is no need to decide which player will perform best or score most, only who will win.
Moneylines are al
so easiest to understand if you’re relatively new to sports betting. Most moneylines are based on $100 spent. The favourites for a match will be depicted by having a minus symbol (-) followed by numbers. The underdogs will be represented by a plus sign (+) and numbers.The numbers are what you stand to gain or lose for every $100 you wager. For example, if you bet on a team with -150 as its moneyline, you’ll need to wager $150 to win $100 in profits. Inversely, if a team is marked with +150, you’ll only need to wager $100 to get a profit of $150 should the team win.
Points Spread
Slightly more complicated than moneylines, points spread bets use the same concept but also dictate how many points a team should win or lose by to be a successful wager.
A team with -3.5
must win by a number higher than the points spread—or more than four points. A team with +3.5 will need to lose by four or more points.ÂOver and Under Bets (Totals)
These bets are simply concerned with whether or not the total combined score of both teams in a game will be over or under a certain amount. If a bet is over 47.5, the combined score must be 48 or higher to win. Under 47.5 means the total scores should be less than 47 for your wager to be successful.
